Ingredients

• 7kg cooked leg ham

• 1 cup honey

• 2/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar

• 250g glace ginger, finely chopped

• 1/3 cup lime juice

Method

• Step 1

  Place oven shelf in lowest position. Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Using a sharp knife, cut through ham rind in a zig-zag pattern around shank. Run thumb underneath rind to separate from fat. Peel and remove rind. Score fat in a diamond pattern (see tip). Wrap shank end of ham in foil.

• Step 2

  Place honey, sugar and ginger in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium. Simmer for 5 minutes for flavours to develop. Stir in lime juice.

• Step 3

  Place ham on a wire rack in a large roasting pan. Spoon over ginger and half the honey mixture. Bake ham, spooning over remaining honey mixture, for 1 hour or until golden. Serve warm or cold.
